I got paid to develop a site for a client. They wanted an online store. I don't know how to build that so I hire a friend of mine to help me out with that section. After taking waaay to long to develop it, it runs fine for like 6 mos. then for no reason the cart stops working. And my good buddy is no where to be found. I look like an ass to my client. Fast forward 2 years... So I'm trying to rebuild my relationship with the company as they have 3 more sites they need built. BUT, the store is still fried. So I apologize, explain the situation and they are appeased. I then get a small amt. of money to hire another developer to rebuild the store for me.... He commited to getting it done within a week or two, "just get me a deposit" he says. So I shell out the deposit out of my pocket, and pushing over 2 weeks still no work done. After a frantic email, and phone call, I am relieved to hear the store will be up by Tuesday. Is it really that difficult to have a good working relationship with back end programmers? Granted, this guy is probably one of the smaretest guys I've ever met, it's still frustrating. (sigh.... just venting) [img]http://www.wayoutwestenterprises.com/images/rob_sp_sig.gif[/img] Loading...
